Moron to Moron is a New Zealand bestseller!
I just got back from a couple of weeks in New Zealand, hanging out with fellow moron Tama Pugsley and plugging Moron to Moron left, right and centre as we cycled from Auckland to Wellington on a shonky Book Bike Tour. The NZ Herald ran a travel profile on me, and I went on television for the very first time. (Also, Tama and I made it onto the front page of the Taupo Times!) During mid-June, Moron made it onto the Nielsen Weekly Bestsellers List (for the week ending 15 June 2013). Here is the list:
